THE ULTIMATE VIOLIN COURSE
The outbreak of COVID-19 has created a sea change in how music is taught. Mads has started the 100% online Ultimate Violin Course to get music out to students in a safe and fun way. The course uses multiple camera angles and gives detailed instructions to guide students from total beginner to advanced and pro levels. The goal is for anybody to be able to play and arrange their favorite songs from YouTube and Spotify. Website is coming in the fall of 2020 at www.theultimateviolincourse.com
